| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
IMP3 (Igf2 mRNA- binding protein 3) is regarded as a novel oncofetal protein expressed especially during early stage of embryogenesis, but also re-expressed in many malignant tissues. Here we found significant correlation between IMP3 expression and overall survival in human uterine carcinosarcoma (CS).
Histone modification status was also correlated to the IMP3 expression, and considered as an independent prognostic factor in CS. These findings suggested that IMP3 expression might confer epigenetic histone modification. To clarify further mechanical regulation on IMP3 leads to the establishment of new prognostic factors as well as solid therapeutic procedures in CS.
